As the year comes to a close, there is comfort in reflection. It’s all too easy to think about all that could have been better but what of our successes? My Growth Expert on the Goldman Sachs programme, Penny Tunnell, kindly sent these questions as cues to think about the year that’s been. I found it deeply insightful so though I would share it with you.
